1
00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:06,900
So now you have a basic understanding of how the child's reading exam is structured.

2
00:00:06,930 --> 00:00:13,140
And now what we're going to go ahead and do is go over the different types of reading questions you're

3
00:00:13,140 --> 00:00:15,870
going to encounter during the exam.

4
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,090
So let's go ahead and review those.

5
00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:27,180
Now, as you've heard me say earlier, there are around 14 question types that you have that you have

6
00:00:27,180 --> 00:00:28,500
for the reading section.

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:35,040
Some of these reading questions they used to do in the past and they don't really do now.

8
00:00:35,340 --> 00:00:42,810
So, for example, in the past there used to be a classified question and it's only on maybe a rare

9
00:00:42,810 --> 00:00:45,570
occasion you might see a classified question.

10
00:00:46,620 --> 00:00:51,570
They've started kind of phasing out the short answer or open ended question.

11
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:57,810
You're starting to see more of the choose to from a list or choose four or five from a list question.

12
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:58,980
So.

13
00:01:00,170 --> 00:01:08,360
We're always monitoring the exam to see what they're focusing on in terms of the reading questions so

14
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:14,240
that we can really help guide you in terms of what to really pay attention to and really make sure you

15
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,250
understand how to do very, very well.

16
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:22,400
Now, there are certain question types that always go in order.

17
00:01:22,820 --> 00:01:24,500
The short answer question.

18
00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:25,730
Always in order.

19
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:26,420
Yes.

20
00:01:26,420 --> 00:01:26,600
No.

21
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:27,260
Not given.

22
00:01:27,260 --> 00:01:27,460
True.

23
00:01:27,470 --> 00:01:27,770
False.

24
00:01:27,770 --> 00:01:29,270
Not given in order.

25
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:38,000
The headings question it goes in order that but with the headings question in the general exam is referred

26
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,150
to as a sections question which section does this appear in?

27
00:01:41,780 --> 00:01:47,210
Which paragraph does this information appear in that that naturally just goes in order?

28
00:01:50,090 --> 00:01:54,920
The multiple choice question, the standard multiple choice question goes in order.

29
00:01:55,900 --> 00:01:58,650
On the field, the blank question goes in order.

30
00:01:58,770 --> 00:02:07,770
And a flowchart that has arrows pointing down from one box to the next box will typically go in order

31
00:02:07,770 --> 00:02:08,550
also.

32
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:15,110
Now there are other question types that I would say mainly go in order.

33
00:02:15,740 --> 00:02:23,210
And what I mean by mainly go and order is I can't say 100% of the time they go in order.

34
00:02:24,230 --> 00:02:28,130
I have rarely seen these question types not go in order.

35
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,820
But you have to be aware of it.

36
00:02:31,820 --> 00:02:33,500
You know, you have to be aware of it.

37
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,710
And so, you know, the sentence completion question.

38
00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:39,320
Most of the time it goes in order.

39
00:02:39,830 --> 00:02:41,330
A summary question.

40
00:02:42,020 --> 00:02:44,360
Most of the time it goes in order.

41
00:02:44,570 --> 00:02:51,740
Sometimes if you have five questions and a summary question, if you have five questions in a summary

42
00:02:51,740 --> 00:02:58,430
question, sometimes if questions three and four are together in the same sentence, you might find

43
00:02:58,430 --> 00:03:01,070
them in inverse order in the reading passage.

44
00:03:01,070 --> 00:03:02,180
So that's possible.

45
00:03:03,290 --> 00:03:04,760
A table question.

46
00:03:04,970 --> 00:03:06,100
Same thing.

47
00:03:06,110 --> 00:03:13,910
If you have two blank lines within a table or two table questions right next to each other, one might

48
00:03:13,910 --> 00:03:15,170
be a question.

49
00:03:15,170 --> 00:03:21,770
Six might be in the second sentence of paragraph number three, and question five might be in the third

50
00:03:21,770 --> 00:03:22,340
sentence.

51
00:03:22,340 --> 00:03:25,650
So you have to be aware of that possibility.

52
00:03:25,670 --> 00:03:28,600
Same thing with the diagram diagram question.

53
00:03:28,610 --> 00:03:38,180
So I say that it goes in order, but to be aware of those situations when it may not, it may not go

54
00:03:38,180 --> 00:03:44,930
in order, but your first assumption should be that that question is going in order.

55
00:03:45,260 --> 00:03:51,020
Now, with your questions that are going in order, it basically follows the same process.

56
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,190
You're starting off by underlining or highlighting the key words.

57
00:03:55,550 --> 00:03:59,630
I say highlight because some people are doing the computer based exam and you can't underline.

58
00:03:59,630 --> 00:04:00,590
You would highlight.

59
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:07,310
Basically, you're asking yourself, what is this question specifically asking me for or about that's

60
00:04:07,310 --> 00:04:09,500
going to help you identify the keywords.

61
00:04:12,820 --> 00:04:13,750
Also.

62
00:04:14,740 --> 00:04:20,080
Almost all of the questions that go in order, write the questions that go in order.

63
00:04:20,350 --> 00:04:25,570
After you identify the keywords, you have to then move forward and scan the passage for them matching

64
00:04:25,570 --> 00:04:26,320
language.

65
00:04:26,860 --> 00:04:30,910
And then afterwards, you're going to apply the specific question strategy.

66
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:39,550
Now, later on in the upcoming lectures, I'm going to go through each specific question type, and

67
00:04:39,550 --> 00:04:45,340
I'm going to explain the question strategy, give you examples of what those questions look like, and

68
00:04:45,340 --> 00:04:51,160
then going, then I'm going to give you lectures where I'm going through full passages, explaining

69
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,020
and applying the question strategy.

70
00:04:58,180 --> 00:05:03,130
Now there are some question types that do not go in order paragraph, location, question.

71
00:05:03,130 --> 00:05:04,990
They love this question.

72
00:05:05,470 --> 00:05:08,020
You're going to have this question on the exam.

73
00:05:08,980 --> 00:05:11,350
The matching question or classification question.

74
00:05:11,350 --> 00:05:14,290
But really it's just the matching question, right?

75
00:05:14,290 --> 00:05:15,850
That does not go in order.

76
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,960
And the pick two or three, really, it's pick two or five.

77
00:05:19,970 --> 00:05:24,280
It could be picked two from a list, three from a list, four from a list, five from a list.

78
00:05:24,490 --> 00:05:31,900
But they really have been they really have been asking that question type more and more on the recent

79
00:05:31,900 --> 00:05:34,480
exams this year.

80
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:45,480
In terms of the answering process, it's the same basic answering process or underlining or highlighting

81
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:46,410
key words.

82
00:05:46,950 --> 00:05:50,640
But the scanning process is much more difficult.

83
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,900
Much more difficult because the questions are going out of order.

84
00:05:55,410 --> 00:06:00,330
So the language for question number one might be found in paragraph number four.

85
00:06:01,090 --> 00:06:04,690
And the language for question number two might be found in paragraph number two.

86
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,650
So it's completely out there, out of order.

87
00:06:09,220 --> 00:06:11,590
And that makes it really, really challenging.

88
00:06:11,590 --> 00:06:17,350
And that's why for most of these questions, these questions that don't go in order, I normally tell

89
00:06:17,350 --> 00:06:23,080
students, if you have a question and a reading pass that set, that is not going in order.

90
00:06:23,290 --> 00:06:25,840
What you want to do is do that question last.

91
00:06:26,140 --> 00:06:31,330
Do the feel of the blank question, then do the matching question, then go back and do the paragraph

92
00:06:31,330 --> 00:06:32,470
location question.

93
00:06:32,770 --> 00:06:38,860
That is the best strategy for handling questions that do not go in order, because if you do the questions

94
00:06:38,860 --> 00:06:46,480
that go in order, it will give you an opportunity to be able to look and review parts of the passage,

95
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:50,650
and then you'll be able to go back and answer that question much, much easier.

96
00:06:55,060 --> 00:07:02,860
Now here is an example of a short answer question on the left and a field of blank question on the right.

97
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:11,560
Next on the left, we have what a yes no not giving question looks like.

98
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:16,930
And the multiple choice, the standard multiple choice question is on the right.

99
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:21,570
On the left side.

100
00:07:21,570 --> 00:07:23,700
This is what a flow chart will look like.

101
00:07:24,060 --> 00:07:26,820
And on the right side, we have the headings question.

102
00:07:32,020 --> 00:07:39,220
Next we have a sentence completion question on our left side and on our right, we have a summary question.

103
00:07:40,450 --> 00:07:44,070
This is a summary question where you just have to scan.

104
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,030
They don't give you answer choices to choose from.

105
00:07:46,030 --> 00:07:47,560
You have to find the sentence.

106
00:07:47,710 --> 00:07:54,190
And then based on the language of the sentence, choose the word that goes on the blank line.

107
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:02,260
You have a table question which is on the left and a diagram on the right.

108
00:08:04,780 --> 00:08:10,270
Then we have a paragraph location question, very challenging question here.

109
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,420
And then we have the pick two, three.

110
00:08:13,420 --> 00:08:16,960
Like I said, it could be picked for pick five from a list.

111
00:08:20,670 --> 00:08:27,960
And then we have the matching question, which normally appears on the real exam, and you have the

112
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,680
summary question where they give you the answer choices to choose from a box.

113
00:08:32,100 --> 00:08:38,190
Now, with that kind of question, you have to find the matching sentence in the passage, read the

114
00:08:38,190 --> 00:08:43,620
sentence for the answer, and then most likely they're going to use a synonym for that in the box.

115
00:08:43,620 --> 00:08:45,960
And you have to choose that as the answer choice.

116
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,740
That's the second type of summary question.

117
00:08:52,370 --> 00:08:58,850
And coming up next, we're going to be going over the scanning a passage process.

118
00:08:59,270 --> 00:09:02,750
And then after that is what you've been waiting for.

119
00:09:02,780 --> 00:09:08,900
We're going to be going over the question type strategy and application of that strategy.

120
00:09:09,710 --> 00:09:11,690
Thank you so much for joining me.

121
00:09:11,930 --> 00:09:15,170
I look forward to teaching you and helping you on your journey.

122
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:16,550
I'll talk to you soon.
